Lake Hamilton, Arkansas

Our family recently visited Hot Springs, Arkansas. We had the pleasure of staying at Five Points Resort on beautiful Lake Hamilton. It was really nice. It seemed as if we were far out of town and deep in the woods when actually we were quite close to the historic downtown district.

"FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"

I don't know who this couple is by name, but they tugged at my heartstrings. I felt a little guilty, but could not seem to keep my eyes off of them. They were wrapping warm towels dipped in the therapeutic waters from the springs around one another's feet. It was, to me, a very touching moment. They were very friendly and told us about the "other side" by The Arlington that had cool water.

"BIRD ISLAND"

As we cruised around the huge lake at dusk we stumbled upon this tiny island loaded with birds roosting for the evening. We tried not to get so close that we would disturb them, but it sure was tempting!

"TIMELESS BEAUTY"
This was in a room at Fordyce Bath House that ladies used to dress and rest in after their spa treatments. The light was so soft and added a dreaminess to our glimpses into the past. I absolutely love old things. They seem to speak to my heart and my imagination. I could just imagine the lady that might have worn this.

"MEN"

This was in the men's section of Fordyce Bath House. There was a lovely stained glass skylight directly above it. I'll add pictures of it if I get a few spare moments.

"PERFECT END TO A PERFECT DAY"

The sunsets on the lake were better than any movie! This is my Uncle Tommy on our way back from dinner at Fisherman's Wharf. It was great. Thanks, Uncle Tommy, for treating us all to such a nice supper!

"LUCKY FISHERMAN...GIRL"

Speaking of fishing, my kids had a ball doing just that!

"FRONT PORCH"

This was the lovely view "up" from our front porch! I drank my coffee there each morning and listened to the sounds of the lake and the birds.
